Its August and finally hot in The Midwest. We are a homeschooling family. I have a wonderful husband and three beautiful children.

The children are not real happy, as school has started in this house. We will start school slowly, like every year, journal entries, and math 4 days a week. Than we will play a game, Quiddler, Dutch Blitz, speed Scrabble, Backgammon, or Chess.

By starting school now, when all the outside activities start we are well on our way to a schedule, outside activities include, Volleyball, dance, gym, piano, art, and classes at the learning center.
The learning center is a homeschool co-op enviroment where lots of things are taught.

Than we have life skills, these happen every day, laundry, sweep floors, vacuum, prepare meals. We try to share these chores.

By the first of September each child will have a day of the week where they are responsible for meal preparation and cleanup. This will include picking the menu, checking both pantries, freezers and cupboards to see if we have the right ingredients, adding to the weekly grocery list the things we need. They also will need to check coupons and grocery ads.

We just moved into a new house in May, still have the old house to empty and get ready to sell.
we are working a little every day or so at this task. Sorting through things is a difficult task, 20 + years of our stuff needs to be sorted and taken care of.

Well that is about it for now.
Have a blessed Day
